Solid mid-grade tripod
This is a solid mid-grade tripod. For the price, it's about as good as it gets. It doesn't match the quality and durability of the expensive stuff, but it's much, much better than you'll get for a similar price at your local big-box store.
Stuff I like:
- Aluminum leg segments. The legs are solid and extend/retract smoothly.
- Compact when collapsed. The tripod compresses into an extremely small bundle.
- Thick nylon case fabric. The case is surprisingly thick and durable.
Weaknesses:
- The head is entirely made of plastic and the tightening controls have a hard time holding everything in place, especially with a heavier camera mounted.
- The feet were a bit tricky to screw onto the legs. The rubber foot pads spin freely on the foot assembly, which makes tightening the screws somewhat difficult.
- Yet another phone mount clamp. Everything seems to come with one of these. I don't need it but it feels a bit wasteful to just throw it in the trash. I'd prefer it just wasn't included in the kit.
